Jarrod: > But there will still be a comma or a semicolon there for cases where you want the index. Yes, like: foreach(i, el in obj) So the problem I was talking about is solved, because you can only have commas there, and no semicolons. And it's not easy to mistake a comma for the "in". > there are a *lot* of groans and moans about it. *Especially* from the lisp/scheme fans. They seem to hate it with a passion. And some of them (but not the AI expert Norvig, he has re-invented something like that) don't like the Python doctests, that I love (and I miss when I program in D): http://docs.python.org/lib/module-doctest.html > Some have even written some 'interesting' poems about it. True story. Maybe they are envious that today Python has much more success than their languages, despite being an "inferior" language ;-) Bye, bearophile |

Well, my main gripe was with the 'in' not the commas. > Maybe they are envious that today Python has much more success than their languages, despite being an "inferior" language ;-) Oh boy, language wars. Not getting involved with that. I wasn't trying to be a jerk about forced indentation or anything, I mean I still like python and it works well with its indentation rules. But it doesn't mean I have to like it. I like my own style and as you can see from some of the other replies regarding this, many others have their own styles regarding nested conditionals too. |

Uh, 'it' in the last sentence being the forced indentation, not python. Perhaps I should try this 'proofreading' thing I've heard all about.
